As wild spotfest go this is about as good as is possibly going to get. Really loved how this started as they did a "testing the waters" segment at the beginning and then they just went off the races. Lots of cool shots and big spots in this but that's not what put this over the top. What really makes this a great match is the little stuff. Tajiri hitting a miss direction hilo on the floor when he gets whipped into the corner. Crazy and Tajiri spreading apart on an attempted Guido plancha and having him faceplant right at the last second. There is a really great camera shot where Guido and Tajiri are grappling in the crowd after Sal E. takes out Crazy in the ring that I thought got across a feeling of hatred that these matches usually lack. I also loved the whole Crazy elimination sequence. Crazy chooses to moonsault Sal E. as payback for his previous interference but gets caught and powerslammed through a table. Tajiri was watching this while he had Guido tied to the tree of woe and then after a long pause goes for the sliding dropkick bus misses and gets caught with a top rope legdrop from Guido for his trouble. Than Sal E. rolls Crazy in who gets caught in a Boston Crab and immediately taps. Again not the sort of thing you expect in a Three Way but man was it done well. Later Tajiri gets his payoff on the corner dropkick and immediately after kills Guido with the brainbuster for the finish. This was just a brilliantly worked spotfest/sprint with far more depth than the average match of this sort and actually a fair amount of internal psych and build which is totally absent from this stuff usually. Post-match angle with Tajiri/Corino/Taz confrontation was great as well.

Dylan wrote it all here as this was simply a fantastic sprint and another classic in the series of these men. Great stuff and a definite nomination.
